Are we finally at a point where the way we’ve approached workplace learning no longer works?

For years, organisations have invested heavily in learning platforms, content libraries and structured programmes. But if we’re honest, much of it still feels disconnected from how people actually learn today - especially in a world where employees can pick up new skills instantly using AI tools.

So what does effective learning look like now? And how do organisations build an AI-ready workforce without falling back on outdated models?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by Chris Eigeland, Founder and CEO of Go1, to explore how workplace learning is evolving - and what HR and L&D leaders need to do differently.

Drawing on his experience working with L&D practitioners across the globe, Chris shares practical insights on:

• Why traditional approaches to learning are struggling to keep up
• How AI is changing not just what we learn, but how we learn
• Where organisations are making real progress with AI upskilling - and where they’re falling short
• Whether technology can finally reduce the compliance burden on HR teams
• What HR and L&D leaders should prioritise over the next 12–18 months

Are we overlooking one of the biggest human consequences of AI at work?

As organisations race to adopt AI, much of the conversation has focused on productivity, efficiency, and redesigning work. But far less attention has been given to how these technologies may reshape something just as important: the relationships people rely on at work.

To unpack this, in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green speaks with Connie Noonan Hadley, organisational psychologist, Thinkers50 Radar thinker, and Research Associate Professor at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business.

Connie has spent decades studying the social experience of work, including the growing challenge of loneliness in organisations. And drawing on her latest research and conversations with senior HR leaders, Connie shares insights on how AI is beginning to influence not just how work gets done, but how people connect, collaborate, and seek support at work.

So, tune in to learn:

• Why loneliness at work remains such a persistent challenge - even in organisations investing heavily in culture
• What CHROs are prioritising right now as they navigate AI adoption, organisational redesign, and a rapidly shifting external environment
• How employees are already using AI for things they once relied on colleagues for - from career advice to coaching and problem-solving
• Why return-to-office mandates may not solve loneliness in the way many leaders expect
• Practical ways HR leaders can protect human connection while embracing AI-driven transformation
